i think of it as a W/W/W. A bit more seasoning, regular work, innings controlled, and the extra season never hurts. That said, while I think Early is about who he is, I think Tolle can improve.
I also don't want any interruptions. This can't be controlled, but if/when they are called up, I am hoping that they are told that the starting gig is theirs and there is no going back.
